20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 136x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
White, two faint 12th magnitude companions visible to the southwest both apparently listed in WDS
Checking the Gaia EDR3 data shows that the 12.2 magnitude B companion (97" @ 236°) does appear to be physically associated, sharing the same parallax and high proper motion as 18 Pup, this star is also a sub-arcseond binary
There is no data on the WDS C companion (78" @ 202°), no parallax or proper motion listed in SIMBAD beyond the WDS entry
